HUTCHINSON, Kan. — There will be a special community gathering to discuss the development of a brand-new park in the Grace Arbor Neighborhood, next to the Salvation Army at 7th and Walnut. The meeting will be at the Salvation Army building at 6:30 p.m.

"We're still working on trying to get a lease agreement with the City to build a park there," said Maj. Paul James with the Salvation Army. "I know the neighborhood, Grace Arbor Neighborhood, is excited for that possibility and we recently have done some very preliminary drawings of what the community would like to see there. Of course, the funds always determine what gets built. We're working towards it."

Everyone's input is welcome in shaping this park, and the neighborhood is invited to join together for an evening of collaboration and discussion. The Hutchinson Healthy Neighborhoods Initiative will also provide dinner for those who attend.

Whether you're a long-time Hutchinson resident or new to the neighborhood, your perspective matters. 

Please RSVP with Adam Stewart at (620) 663-6179 or [email protected], so they have a head count for the meal.
